MU women's game day box/per MU and the immortal EO

Yes, I know football (JETS) is on TV, but that's at 1 p.m.

Hey, I'm going to miss the Eagles
-Atlanta game to cover this one (though I'll be keeping track) even though the women's game will not run in the Press until Tuesday paper due to early New Year's Eve deadlines.

But I don't mind. For one thing it's my job, but also MU women are playing well and should take this one. If MU wins it will mark it's best start since going 9-4 to start 2002-2003 on its way to an 18-11 (12-6 NEC) record.



Is anyone going to stay for this game???




3:30 p.m. Sunday

Monmouth: The Hawks (6-4) come into this afternoon's contest off a 76-64 victory over American in their last game nine days ago. In that game, junior center Lindsey Zegowitz enjoyed a break out performance, scoring a career-high 15 points and grabbing seven rebounds. The Hawks shot 50 % from the floor for the game, while limiting American to 29.7 %, including 6-of-29 from three-point range. The balanced Hawks attack featured two other players, Jennifer Bender (12) and Brianne Edwards (11) joining Zegowitz in double figures, while the Hawks bench outscored the Eagles reserves 31-10. Bender is the lone Hawk averaging double figures at 11.4 points per game, but Monmouth, who is 4-1 at home, goes 10 deep regularly, all of whom score.

Lafayette: The Leopards (2-10) comes into this afternoon's game off a 70-59 loss to Division I-A newcomer New Jersey Institutue of Technology on December 28. They were led in that game by Emily Garner's 20 points, as she was the lone Leopard to crack into double digits on the score sheet. Lafayette turned the ball over 24 times in the game, compared to dishing out just seven assists. Garner leads the Leopards in scoring, averaging 11.1 points per game. Lafayette has played fourNortheast Conference teams already this season, falling to St. Francis (N.Y.) 61-48, Wagner 72-65 and Fairleigh Dickinson 63-48, while defeating Mount St. Mary's 68-55. Wagner's win over the Leopards is the lone win of the season to this point.
